Built between 1930 and 1933, Atascosa Lookout is a 14’x 14’ groundhouse with an unusual modified hip roof with a 2’ overhang. This historic structure on the Coronado National Forest is not far from the Mexican border. It has gutters to collect rainwater for a cistern, a common-sense solution that was strangely not used often in the West. Atacosa Lookout was destroyed in the Murphy Fire on June 6, 2011.
